I'm not convince the Lutz culture at GM is gone. I've seen one too many 'cute' announcements about the Volt to believe it is anything more than 'greenwash.' For example, their claim it will have a noise maker for the blind when they don't put noise makers on their two-mode hybrids. Just look at the history of GM's "two-mode" transmission.
The "two-mode" was supposed to be this great thing only you had to spend $50,000+ to get one after ordering it blind. The only affordable two-mode, a Saturn Vue was canceled and the Saturn division closed down. GM totally blew the "two-mode" and now they want us to believe the Volt is real?
No, there is too much bad history with GM when across the street is a Ford dealer with two serious hybrids, Escape and Focus. Ford hasn't been playing 'bait and switch' games like GM and their executives don't go around (to my knowledge) saying derogatory things about owners of fuel efficient cars.
